ALBERT LEA, Jan. 14.-There is quite
diversion of opinion here among the politi-
cal friends of Hon. John S. Gibbs as to the
good policy of his accepting the appoint
ment of railroad commissioner from the
McGill administration. 1t is believed bv
many that it foreclOses his prospects of
further political preferment. and that as
McGill Is not likely to be given a second
term. it looks as though Mr. Gibbs had
sacrificed himself Tor too small considera-
ton. 1t is well understood that his ap-
pointment would not have been made ex-
cept on the approval of john S. Pllsbury,
R. B. Langdon and Loren Fletcher. ard
especially of the latter, and there are
suspicious that it was a shrewd scheme
of theirs to shelye him. The selection

commissioners seems TO confirm this view
of the matter for that Warner is a prime
favorite with the millers. the warehousemen
and the railroads has grown from a sus-
picion in the public mind into very evil
dent and repugnant fact. That Mr.. Gibbs
has accepted Office i'll good faith, and with
the most upright and reSolute purpose. there
is not the least doubt. and it is believed
that he will make a record that will sur
prise as well as discomtit the men who ex-
pect him to serve them. By so doing it is
possible that lie may be able to divorce
himself from the illicit connections and off
spring of the McGill administration: but in
order to do this he will need to put his
virtue under a coat of mail and arm his
courage with Gattling battery of good
resolutions

Importance to the people of Montana 1t
is understood that Gen. Williamson has
made this journey after a thorough study
of the condition OF the Indians Oh the Crow

industries and needs of the territory. He
believes, with most OF the business men Of

there can be easily supported upon 1.-THE

practical man, whose recommendations will
be received with great weight in Washing

grazing land in the Crow reservation should
be thrown open TO the public npon some
feasible plan which will recompense the In
dians and the government He has also
under consideration some way of develop
ing the excellent coal mines which have
been found in the reservation. He is at

His idea is 10 have an appropriation OF say
$50. 900 per annum made for the immediate
relief of old veterans. and he does not want
persons drawing from it who are not ex-
soldiers. so it is necessary to prevent them
wearing the G. \. L. badges. Mr.. Durant

Attorney General Kitchener appeared for
Robertson and occupied the forenoon in
argument. The attorneys for Smith con-

row. In the house, at the conclusion OF
the debate on the Meagher case, a vote was
taken and the seat awarded TO Dickers,
Republican. by a strict party vote.
Meaghers seat was vacated on the ground
that he held the Office of justice of the
peace and was ineligible under the consti-
tuition. This action gives eacn party sew
enty-tive votes on joint ballot. The Re-
publican senatorial caucus was held to-
night, and Senator Harrison was nominated
